Archives for December 2016

On December 9, 2016, East Windsor Education Association members joined their Mercer County Education Association colleagues to honor individuals who dedicate themselves to making life better for the children of Mercer County at the first annual “Mercer County Friends of Education Awards Gala”. There was dinner, dancing, and comradery as we honored people of Mercer County.
Recipients included Ms. Tricia Baker who created the non-profit organization called A.I.R. (Attitudes in Reverse, Mary Ann Raccosta who has been an advocate for not only her own children but for other children with special needs as well. In 2012, Mary Ann wrote a book called The Survivor, The Hero & The Angel: A Mother’s Story – One Decade. This book has helped many parents come to terms with their children’s disabilities. The final recipient was our own Wendell Steinhauer, for his tireless work on behalf of NJEA members and students.
